econet Portable X-ray Unit from Germany
Benefits of the German econet portable X-ray unit: portability, speed, safety, cost savings and image quality.

Because it is portable, the German econet portable X-ray unit can be used in many settings, such as field hospitals, hospital grounds, small clinics and fully equipped hospitals. It is small enough to be used in an ambulance, at an accident scene and even in the patient's home, enabling imaging without moving the patient.
Highlights
- Portable for use in hospitals, clinics, field hospitals, ambulances and patients' homes
- Imaging without the need to move the patient
- Faster than fixed X-ray systems, with quick results
- Front shield on the unit to prevent X-ray scatter
- Lower cost and time for transporting medical equipment
- Advanced technology for higher image quality
- Lead shielding is required to protect people in a non-isolated environment
Benefits of the econet portable X-ray unit
Accessibility
Moving a patient is difficult and can sometimes worsen their condition or cause injury. With this unit, the patient can be imaged without being moved.
Speed
The unit is faster than fixed X-ray systems and results are available in a short time, which supports faster diagnosis and treatment.
Safety
With this type of unit, less X-ray radiation reaches the patient and the operator, and the front shield prevents radiation from spreading. Since the mobile radiography environment is not isolated, special lead shields are required to protect the people present.
Cost savings
Transporting medical equipment is expensive. Portable equipment such as this unit reduces costs and lost time.
Image quality
The advanced technologies used in this unit increase image quality, which becomes even more important together with shorter turnaround times for results.
Improved patient care
Faster imaging, greater safety and higher image quality contribute to more accurate diagnosis and faster patient recovery, and reduce additional costs.
